I am still multiply pieced from visits to Aflecks Palace.

During those experiences I had a really bad time with speed, cocaine and possibly heroin and crack cocaine. But read on... All of those not taking through choice, but stuck in a joint or other methods of deception. It was anarchy up there, remembering it was coming out of a class A drugs...

I missed it through choice in Madchester because everyone doing it invariably slept during the day usually covered with a duvet and the curtains drawn. It was paradoxically social and anti-social afterwards. Because I wasn't into the music and only experienced the comedown of others, I...

great band

I was there. Brilliant. An early Simon Day of the Fast Show doing Tommy Cockles, I think I was the only one laughing although I was in my twenties. Lew Grade? rolled a mint imperial across the stage..... 70s tv education watching Dennis Norden. Bill Bailey in his original double act the...

Suede had a cracking first couple of singles though. I was in Manchester and they were very much part of the mix. I was never into the rave scene, because the danceable indie scene was immense. There was a legendary club called "Legends" which mixed new indie with basically anything. Pixies...

Pixies for f#### sake. Wife's favourite band from that era. Missed tickets at the Round House a few year ago. > Where else are they playing ? - Nowhere in Europe love, they are only doing these places in North America and.... Next thing I know I'm on a plane to Vancouver to see a f***ing band...

Come on... Nirvana. ( or come as you are ) Lucky to see them live at probably the last iconic Reading. The one that Mudhoney got pelted with mud, because there was lots of it.

Can I throw a really really random one in who I met as part of the John Peel experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tansads Live (but probably not on record) they did a sort of Levellers thing, but had a really anti Southern thread going through a number of songs. Unfortunately usurped...

I never had a note, but he tracked down the phone number (pre-mobile) of the landline in my halls in my halls of residence. After a number of attempts by him to get hold of him. - Hello ? > It's John - John who ? > John Peel - John Peel ? > Yes - Brilliant, can we come and meet you at #### > No...

Belly ? This Mortal Coil ? Sugar ?

Or earlier please. Your eclectic and encyclopedic knowledge of music is a highlight of NSC. I love to catch up with at some point and talk about the random occurrence that ended me up spending a day in John Peel's house in the 1990s. The bin bags of cassettes tapes that arrived in his post...

You're going to anyway....

That said I don't remember it.

Having patronisingly experienced Manchester and then going up to London to work, London and the whole Britpop nonsense was completely fake. In my opinion Manchester was the last authentic "scene" and everything else has been manufactured.

I forgot what my name was at times, so good evening to you.

Having attended Manchester University in the 1990s I ask myself that question daily.
